Congressional budget cutters are aiming at a $3 or 14 billion reduction in Eisenhower's appro-i priations requests for the new bookkeeping year starting July 1. Nevertheless, staff specialists reported to the House Ways and Means Committee that "actual budget expenditures in the fiscal year 1958 are more likely to be in the 'neighborhood of $73 bil lion." • The chief reason for this out look, they said, is that prices are likely to continue to rise. In the government fiscal pic-_ ture there is often a sharp dif ference between appropriations for a _particular year, and actual spending in that year. Beczuse money often is not spent until long after Congress sanctions the spending, a backlog of funds builds up. Thus. Congress could slash appropriations for 1958 without actually. cutting spending in that year.
